Actually I just want to act

Chapter 396 Valentine's Day

Fang Jiming is familiar with the overseas market. He knows some large Chinese-language productions with high costs, and the guaranteed price often exceeds US$10.Judging from the actual performance of North American theaters, there is actually not such a big gap in the appeal of Chinese films of different grades.

In this case, Fang Jiming might as well go to Huahu, so that after the guarantee is completed, that is, after making a profit, everyone can at least get a 27.5-[-] share.In other words, publishers can earn up to [-]% of the box office share, and Fang Jiming can maximize his profits.

It's just that Huahu also has limitations, because they generally can only enter the Chinatown in the North American market, that is, Chinatown.Even if the maximum number of cinemas that can be released is only more than 800 cinemas.Therefore, Fang Jiming intends to only sell to Huahu in the North American market, and other overseas markets have to be discussed.

Of course, the box office share in the North American market is also different from that in China.There are few guaranteed releases in China now, but North America is very popular.If it is not a guaranteed discovery, then the North American market will have two ways of sharing, one is based on the week as a unit, using the total box office revenue of a movie in a movie theater, minus the necessary fixed expenses negotiated at the beginning (and the specific cost of the movie theater) Conditions, such as facilities, number of seats, number of screens, etc.), and then take [-]% of the inside.The first week is [-]%, the second week is [-]%, and it keeps decreasing.This is to encourage movie theaters to extend the show time. If the movie is a big hit, the movie theater will make a lot of money in the end.

There is another way, not counting the expenses, and directly taking 60%-70% of the total box office.Then the publisher will choose whichever of these two data is bigger.Generally speaking, the final game between these two sharing methods will be that movie theaters get 45% of the box office, while distributors get about 55%.

Of course, there is also a fixed box office share, such as [-]-[-], but it has not been mainstream.

And distribution, in fact, is to bring the producer.Reliable distributors generally require 15%-25% of the box office share, that is to say, the producer can get 30%-40% of the box office share.In this case, it is indeed much better than China's fixed share.After all, Chinese distributors are a bit greedy, and they want to divide it by one-third; producers can only get a 28%-30% of the box office.

If it wasn't for his lack of strength, Fang Jiming wanted to do his own distribution, so why give money to others to make a lot of money? !

Of course, the contract is not set in stone.Even "The Man Who Comes From Earth" is divided into stages, which is quite complicated.Let's put it this way, if the box office finally stands at 3000 million, then the producer's share will be as high as 39%!You know, domestic theaters only get 2%-7% of the share, while movie theaters only get 33% of the share.Of course, if it is a three-party game between the distributor, the producer and the movie theater, the producer must give up the profits.Generally speaking, the final share of movie theaters will exceed 40%, and even more than 50%!

Specific analysis of specific movies, because the division of each movie is different.

However, for a film with an audience base, an overseas distributor who wants to take 25% of the share is indeed a bit greedy.Fang Jiming thinks that 18% is negotiable, and 20% is also acceptable.But 25% is absolutely unacceptable.Of course, now is not a good time to talk, let's talk about it after the Berlin Film Festival ends.The big deal is to find one of the most powerful distribution companies in Europa and sign a guaranteed share, and they promise to push hard.

After all, the guaranteed release also gets almost 25% of the box office.

Lin Qingyi asked a little curiously: "Siming, is the other party's conditions very harsh?"

Fang Jiming smiled and said, "Of course it's harsh, and he opened his mouth to ask for the distribution rights of the Europa region and 25% of the share. Isn't it shameful?"

"Then how much can you get?" Lin Qingyi didn't quite understand this.

Fang Jiming thought for a while and said, "It's probably only 17%-20%. This is what I strive for. Even if the release is guaranteed, I can't suffer!"

After all, the Europa film market is different from the North American film market, and the movie theater share is also high, exceeding 50%, so this is definitely a disadvantage.In other words, the distributor can only get about 45% of the share. If 25% is given to the distributor, wouldn't the producer only get 20%?This is absolutely unacceptable to Fang Zhiming.

After all, Chinese movies are not Hollywood movies, and the share of Hollywood movies in Europa is more than 45%.

In order to make money, the movie theater also pinched its nose and accepted it, only taking 40%.As for publishers, they don't get 12%.

Therefore, the box office split may seem trivial, but in fact it is really a matter of learning.If the share is less, you will suffer.There are too many shares, the distributors are not strong, and the movie theaters are not good at arranging films.The best solution here is to guarantee the share of the bottom line.

"So, you want to guarantee the release?" Lin Qingyi suddenly realized.

Fang Jiming said with a smile: "Of course, no one will suffer. Foreigners always want to take advantage, but they don't know that the Chinese are the ancestors who play tricks!"

Lin Qingyi thought for a while before saying, "But in this case, is there a publisher willing to distribute it for you?"

"It depends on the situation. If I win an award, some publishers line up to find me." Fang Jiming said with a smile, "If I don't win an award, it means we need to find a publisher."

Lin Qingyi smiled, which is very realistic.

"It's okay, anyway, it's best to win an award. If we don't win an award, we'll treat it as a trip and open our eyes." Fang Jiming said with a smile.

"Yeah, Berlin is really beautiful, and the streets are full of cars, when will our country be like this?" Lin Qingyi was a little envious.

Fang Jiming sneered.

He knows that in a few years, China will set off a round of infrastructure construction boom-how do you think the title of infrastructure madman comes from?

At that time, it will be the turn of the crooked nuts to envy China. There are high-rise buildings everywhere, and various infrastructures are much more advanced than foreign countries!Even paying by scanning codes on mobile phones can surprise foreigners. One can imagine what China will develop into.

"Don't worry, our country will be much more beautiful than this in the future. Haven't you seen that Yanjing Wangfujing is worse than this?" Fang Jiming smiled.

"Really, but that's Yanjing!"

"Shenghai, Shenzhen City, and Yangcheng are all like this..." Fang Jiming laughed.

……

In the next day, Fang Jiming took Lin Qingyi to visit the cathedral, the Brandenburg Gate, Memorial Park, Potsdamer Platz, the Rhine River... Well, they bought a lot under Fang Jiming's active consumption thing.Although it is not a luxury, but in China, it is also clothes and shoes that ordinary people can only afford with a monthly salary of one or two months...

Just as they were having dinner until dark, the box office of Chinese movies on Valentine's Day on February 2 came out.

2月14日中国电影票房统计：No.1：《看不见的战争》：367万；排片59.8%；上座率：86%；总票房：1161万。
